The purpose of Intentional Birth is to help every woman who is seeking to trust herself, her body, and her heart, connecting to her Inner Guide and finding clarity, purpose and intention in her pregnancy and in parenting. This blog is where I post ideas that come from current parenting situations and my understanding of pregnancy, birth, parenting, and learning to trust myself fully. The style is informal and may sometimes be a bit chaotic but not unorganized.

It might

Cloth Diapers

On today’s show I ran out of time before I ran out of things I wanted to talk about. So because I really wanted to talk about my favorite swim diapers and the other eco-friendly diapering options I’ve used when traveling, I’m writing a quick post. I’ve tried several swim diapers and have two definit

Mom’s Advice

A question was recently posed, in honor of Mother’s Day, “What was the best advice your mother ever gave you?” Although my mom had lots of wisdom to offer, it only took a moment to know what classified as best. Even back in elementary school, the kids I knew were divided- the popular, in-crowd and [

Sky Diving

During labor I held the most intense feelings I've ever experienced. But they could not be neatly labeled as one thing or another at any moment. The sensations physically and emotionally intertwined so completely that a new, unnameable experience was created in me.

My Body Knew

As part of the Healthy Birth Blog Carnival from Amy Romano’s blog at Science and Sensibility, I wanted to add my two cents about this month’s topic, Lamaze Healthy Birth Practice #5: Avoid giving birth on your back and follow your body’s urges to push. The first time around, I was so excited to see

Asking for Help

Was I taught somewhere along the way that it is a weakness to need help from others? I don’t think anyone ever said so out loud, but it’s what I thought was true for a long time. But it isn’t true. In fact, asking for help- and being willing to receive help- is one of [...]

Eliminating Infant Circumcision

Today’s radio show will focus on information about circumcision that parents need to know- information that hopefully will help parents keep their newborn sons intact. The more I read, the more I hurt for baby boys (and girls) who are circumcised; and the more I hurt for parents who made the decisio

Considering PostPartum Depression

I attended a doula training this past weekend given by Rae Davies of The Birth Company. It was a very intimate gathering of compassionate women, choosing to educate themselves to support laboring mothers. So it was not surprising that the environment brought out the best in all of us. It also presen
